Aubrey Myers best-worst May 18, 2025

Hey, The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,127/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $212,500 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
